Thank you! We actually asked the Vet the last time we went and they told us they didn't know. They said they would board her but I'd rather someone interact with her and let her roam. Our worry with trusted friends is that she's a sneaky bugger and can be difficult to catch. We also don't want...

Hey, I've tried searching around a bit online but I can't find much. I'm looking for a reliable place to board a chinchilla for 3-4 days while I'm out of town. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, it's only been a little over a day since we've picked her up, so should we be waiting to see improvement, or contact the vet again right away? We don't wanna wait if things are getting worse. Also, she's about a year and a half old, and has been with us the whole time and never ever...

Hey there, We recently moved apartments (on Tuesday) and our chinchilla Winky-Pinky had stopped eating as much about 2 days before.. We figured it was because she heard a lot of noise and us packing up and clearing out rooms and such. She completely stopped eating Wednesday night, but was...

Awesome, we're in Chicago also! Welcome!

Quick question - what's the difference between Critter Nation and Ferret Nation?

Hey! We've had our chin (girl) for about 8 months - she's 10 months old now - and she's always been playful, and loves to be naughty and pop around in our room. For about two weeks now, we've had to lure her out of her cage with a rose hip or dustbath in order for her to come out, and she no...

I'd kill for one of those. If you ever see one again, please Private Message me! I'd love it!

Where in gods name did you find that Totoro jar? Is it handmade?

Quick question everyone! We're thinking about picking up a ferret nation (the 2 story one).. Does it come with a metal pan? I assume since most of these don't have it, the 2nd pan with the tiny hole in it is removable? If it doesn't come with a metal pan, where can I buy one? Does anyone...

Hey! We gave our chin her first rose hip today (organic, got it from whole foods) and she took a bite out of it and then immediately dropped it. Now whenever she goes back to it, she shakes her head and makes a sneezing type sound, but definitely won't eat it anymore - even though she keeps...

For everyone that recommends a new vet - who here has extensive research in this stuff? Or a degree? I'd much rather trust a vet or a breeder than someone who just owns a couple of chinchillas. The debate for me isn't fruits/veggies (she will not have any, and we've never given her fruit or...

I didn't want to start a new thread on this, so sorry for reviving an old one. I tried to read over a good portion of this before I asked, but I feel more confused now. Our vet, who is a highly recommended exotic creatures vet here in Chicago, says that chinchillas can have up to 1/2 cup of...

Thanks, here's another picture, of her being naughty.

I was a lurker for a bit and decided to join. Winky is about 4 months old, and we live in Chicago! When she was just 9 weeks when she broke her pelvis. :( She's made a full recovery, though, and isn't hindered at all! I suppose it was better that she broke it while she was young and her bones...
